Containment Systems A Design Guide [Hardcover]

Containment Systems: A Design Guide?is the only book that covers containment, specifically for the process industries. This Guide covers the range of containment equipment from simple air-flow control devices to enclosures that restrict exposures to well below a microgram per cubic meter averaged over a working day. The selection of a particular containment system for a particular transfer operation can be difficult because of the wide choice available. This Guide provides a structured approach to the selection process.

• Covers the legislation for containment guidelines in the US, UK, and Europe
• Provides an exhaustive list of containment equipment, including chapters on maintenance and reliability
• Shows the engineer how to develop a containment strategy for his/her plant
